larride: Alot of things will be reset.
We in Nigeria cant even use our cards for any international transactions. Emefiele first put a limit of $20 a month and then blocked it totally except you get a dollar card.
It can never be well with Emefiele. Strongly advise against the bolded for any incoming CBN Governor. Dont think Nigeria has the capacity/supply to fund dollar expenses/demand. A managed float is what I would recommend |

Ibukzy: Those that will be ineligible to enjoy the student-loan bill signed by PBAT;
• those of you owing Palmpay, Kuda and other organizations • those of you convicted of a felony or any offence involving dishonesty or fraud • those of you found guilty of exam malpractice by any school authority
Let me add that repayment of the loan will be two years after completion of NYSC and it would be by direct deduction of 10% of the beneficiary’s salary at source by the employer.
Where the beneficiary is self-employed, he shall remit 10% of his total profit monthly. Like the bolded. Would also hope that to become eligible for the loan, Some minimum academic criteria would have to be involved |

Android17: Tuchel's problem is oversabi. He could have maintained the status quo till next season before changing things but he wanted to show that he was different from Naggelsman. The result is a confused and demotivated team. I agree with the bolded. I even complained about it when he was here But let me be honest with you, There are not many coaches in the world that understands football in a tactical sense like he does. I listen a lot to his post match comments and you'll never find him waver in terms of what went wrong and what went well The guy is elite, cant speak to his current mishaps in Bayern, but i'm sure thats more motivation to do better |

pkasso: Sheva did make the final shortlist for WPOTY in '04 finishing behind Henry and Dinho. So he was definitely a force to be reckoned with. I wasn't referring to only the Ballon d'or in my argument, the WPOTY included.
Henry was a notorious big game choker and what one could call a local champion. He couldn't replicate his PL form on the European stage and with France when on international duty. And let's not kid ourselves, the PL of the early 2000's wasn't half as competitive as it is today so his stats, while impressive are only par for the course. Think Lewy banging in goals in the Bundesliga or Mbappe in Ligue One.
Sheva played in a slightly tougher league IMO at that point in time, facing meaner defences while playing as a lone striker for most of the time, a rarity in that period. He also had a better record in Europe. His numbers speak for themselves.
Peak Dinho was untouchable so I'm surprised you think Henry was robbed. I would never forget his first half hattrick against Barca in 97 or thereabout in Camp Nou. He was the drogba to inter as drogba was to arsenal. A big game player, one I really really liked. Did it for his National team and in UCL too Top top European striker, shame the injury happened and his career went the way it went in Chelsea |

User09: See the bolded and see who we've been told is a solid depth
See how a football coach in the modern day thinks football should be played.
Just love the way reality keeps showing him his actual level The bolded is the sweetest part of the whole Lampard debacle for me. Let those who never accept that they are wrong do what they do best, these same set of people never agreed and argued against the initial sack of Lampard. When its all said and done, his record and numbers will always be there especially for those who like to look at numbers. I cannot for the life of me imagine someone defending a 31/41 game loss especially with an Everton and Chelsea team. Una go dey alright |

popizaino: Ancelotti had similar resume with Pochettino at PSG. Both came in mid season,while Ancelotti met PSG with three points at the top of the table,he lost the league to Montpellier,Pochettino on the other hand,who did not meet PSG in similar position is said to bottle the league. How you manage to convince yourself on this point is still a mystery to me.
By the way,you are still yet to tell me how it is possible to improve players without the team improving ? I don tell u make u rest given that u dont know what ure talking about. Since ure making both comparisons, why dont u look extensively into how and when the title was lost by both parties. Also since u couldnt infer from my post, There was clearly a difference in expectations. Ancelotti gave PSG their first league title in 20 years, while Pochettino gave PSG their second title loss in 10 years Who talked about the team not improving?, Didnt u read my post, I clearly said he can be a manager for our top 4 project not for winning titles |

popizaino: You are failing at trying too hard to discredit Pochettino and i will just tell you why by asking this few questions.
So who is the guy if Pochettino isn't the guy?
And how is it possible that players will improve without the team improving as well? Engage me.
And also how can you blame a manager who was employed in January for a league that was started in wasy back in August besides PSG wasn't top of the league when he signed?
Ancelotti on the other hand who had an advantage of PSG topping the league when he signed in December lost the title to Montpellier but it that of Pochettino that is a big deal because of reasons best known to yourself. His coaching resume at 51 is there for all to see. Ancelotti won PSG their first league title in 19 years. He also won the manager of the year that season. This is something that comes with having a winning bone. You better rest cos if I go full gun blazing on Pochettino, even you will doubt all the love u've got for him. I have already said what he's good at and my expectations of him. Let's just leave it at that |

Capaldi: So we are down to 3 candidates, Pochettino, Kompany and Ange Postecoglou. Currently none of these 3 candidates are working for me. All of them look worst than Potter. So after all the self proclaimed exhaustive process and patience in hiring a new coach these 3 bums are the best they can come up with. Boehly is enjoying his PR show. Hired Lampard cos of his connection with the club and fans, Now they do the opposite in hiring Pochettino. If we're looking for someone to compete at the highest levels, Poch is not the guy, Maybe he'll come in and improve some of the young ins; then give us top 4, thats about it. U see that clown show that's happening with Arsenal currently, I've seen it happen TWICE with Pochettino. A bottler will always be a bottler Since 2011 or so, PSG has only failed to win the league twice, One of them was the great Monaco season, Guess who was managing PSG the other season?. Our levels now is just a top 4 club, lets just be ok with it |

Amoto94: An expert opinion : Nagelsmann was described “too similar to Thomas Tuchel” in terms of how he worked. The current hierarchy want a different profile with a more holistic outlook beyond just working on the training ground. ( @MiguelDelaney ) They want another yes man. Maybe someone can help me explain the bolded Looks like Popizaino may get his wish afterall. Well at least Pochettino managed Levi's ego very well. Not very many coaches will be able to cope in that environment |

Itsrm: It was a fluke and more because our contenders for top 4 were significantly worse. To put into perspective, In the last 10 premier league seasons, Lampards 67 point tally would only have made top four twice. So much for making top four.
What of the embarrassing loss to Bayern in the champions league? You guys are always quick to bring up the top four finish but never the champions league. I need people to remember the bolded every time someone rates Lampard for giving us top 4 that season |

raumdeuter: Imagine in April barely a month to the end of the most grueling football season ever seen a coach is saying players are not fit?
After 8months of football plus world cup between
Assuming they weren't fit in 1month pre season so 10 months of football is not enough?
Some of them went to the world cup and did well for their country, they played multiple internationals yet we are to believe they are not fit in April when other coaches are complaining of player fatigue
There is no excuse a clueless coach will not come up with sha Only those who didnt watch Lampard's first spell here or listen to his typical post match comments will be surprised by what he said. Baba no know pass run and chase football. There's a reason Mount and Tarkowski are his favorite players. Glad he's leaving at the end of the season sha. He should continue basking in his arrogance. MENSA wey no dey learn from experience. Smh |

Amoto94: Quotes from Lampard after the game :
“All the basic parts of football - to fight, to run - we were short on”
“For me it’s all about the basics”
“Our fans will be watching a team on Wednesday that will be giving everything”
“Conor Gallagher was another one who gave every drop individually”
“In the basics of football, Brighton are a really good team, but we were shot in tackles, fight and yards. If it isn't right you don't win” See the bolded and see who we've been told is a solid depth See how a football coach in the modern day thinks football should be played.

Capaldi: Getting flashbacks to watching Rudiger and Christensen getting cooked game after game. Chalobah and Fofana are being overworked. Lampard hasn't improved one bit. No club will be unfortunate to hire him ever again. This is exactly why I said not to rate any of these new players until we see them under a decent coach |

Capaldi: He was useless in transition from attack to defense yesterday. Every time we lost possession including when he lost possession multiple times he just lazily and half-ass jogged back into a defensive position; no effort to help his teammates whatsoever. James was even more wooful and shambolic. Imagine if this was Jorginho. I'm not even going to dwell on how much we miss Jorgiboy cos of dem usual suspects. But many a times in the game, I just kept on seeing holes in the middle which had me bewildered. |

Like I have repeatedly said, I'll wait to judge these new guys until I see them under a decent coach. They cant all be bad
For someone who played most of his career as a midfielder, Lampard has to be the worst midfield coach I have seen coach this team. This Buffoon doesnt even see the importance of setting up the middle properly. Possession was lost mostly in the middle throughout the game
Thinks football is all brute and gidigbo like your typical brit and their advocates here. No patterns, No rhythm, No structure. "Just go out there and give it your all".
Had to listen to Joe Cole chatting rubbish while defending him in the BT post match analysis. Sincerely hope Boehly doesnt have any longer term plans for this fraud of a coach |

Android17: Naggelsman did not have issues with majority of the squad. Sure, he butted heads with Neuer but the other big names respected him. Kimmich rated him as top 3 coaches he had ever worked with and you know all the coaches Kimmich has worked with.
Bayern fired Naggelsman because they did not want to lose out on signing Tuchel and partly because they feared that Pep will get the better of him. In addition to the bolded, There were reports that they also wanted Tuchel as Kahn was said to not have liked how Nagelsmann wanted to be heavily involved in transfers unlike Tuchel They wanted a pure coach |

User09: I'm actually surprised Lampard is open to the offer.
Wonder what other clauses or surprises is inserted into the proposed contract I think I now have an answer to the bolded having watched the match and Lampard's press conference Brother Lampard thinks this is an Opportunity to audition for a longer term and permanent role. Guy was so vague when questioned about the interim role Good thing he hasn't really learned much from his last time here and still as arrogant as ever. Prefers players chasing the ball with plenty energy rather than structured football |

FBS: Talks on-going.
Chelsea are progressing their hunt for a longer-term solution by holding discussions in London with Luis Enrique, who is vying with Julian Nagelsmann for the job. But it would suit the club to have a more experienced interim manager than Bruno Saltor, who was put in charge after Potter’s departure on Sunday, and Lampard is expected to be in the dugout for Saturday’s game at Wolves.
- Guardian. I'm sure if they consulted with you for options at the bolded. Lampard wouldnt come up. I still find it quite strange that Lampard is receptive to the role |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by User09: 1:47am On Apr 06, 2023 |
FBS: From what I heard, they are yet to do so and if he was available AND ready, there is no way they would have approached Lampard. Why?
Unless Boli and his friends don madt patapata.  Multiple reports (Guardian, Telegraph and Athletic) suggest he is ready to take on role immediately and even impressed in his interview. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by User09: 1:37am On Apr 06, 2023 |
FBS: How could they hire either when they have not even spoken to/with them? Y'all will be the same people saying the club did not do their due diligence before hiring the new manager.
Allow the data guys do their work please. lol
It's a short term fix. Not sure what the problem is here. But they have. At least according to media reports. Enrique was even in London 2 days ago to speak with our board on the job. I can understand the interim job if either of those guys are not ready to take on the role immediately; and the person is decent enough, which I dont think Lampard is |

FBS: It is said that Bruno does not want to continue and none of the mentioned names are available on a short notice. So who would you have recommended? This is what I disagree with. Pretty sure both Enrique and Nagelsmann would prefer to join immediately rather than wait. It's probably our board that wants to take their time to evaluate all their options |

Skimpledawg: Cmon man 
Lampard is without job currently and will dive at it.
This appointment is assss! Pathetic even. Well, Not surprised with Boehly Like most Investment Management guys that get to be involved in the actual asset operations. They dont know shiit and just like to wing it. I still dont see the pros behind hiring Lampard. Not sure there's any coach among those being interviewed that isnt open to joining immediately and wants to wait especially when there's still a chance at the Champions league title; Even the Tuchel that is being berated currently took over the team in shambles immediately and even managed to win us a CL Anyway, We'll just have to keep laughing at the joke that is Chelsea at the moment |
